Pros

Met many smart, interesting, hard-working people. Nice perks (snacks, yoga, training reimbursement, etc.). Growing globally, so good opportunities for transferring to different offices and brands.

Cons

As it gets bigger and acquires more companies, it's getting slower, and the overall vision is getting muddy. Increasingly weighed down by process and jargon. Lack of women in leadership roles.

Pros

Great product, always changing. Office spaces, perks like food and beverages

Cons

Latam team management creates drama and conflicts among employees to maintain their jobs safe. Very cliquey and is no secret that they hire friends and family, even for external vendors. In a company of that size, you'd think this is something to avoid. As the other review says, backstabbing is quite usual and goes around in the commercial team. You are offered someone jobs in exchange for throwing this person under the bus. Promotions are distributed for those who show who are capable of doing unethical behavior. You can get a promotion even if you haven't met the yearly target, as long as you are friends with the manager. HR is there to hide the dead bodies.

Pros

- Great product - filters! - Nice offices - Stanford, Berlin, Copenhagen. - Smart people for the most part - Nice colleagues, those in Stamford and Copenhagen. - They won't offer help but if you ask, many team members will happily give you training on stuff. - Okay salary, market rate - Good perks such as tuition allowance etc

Cons

-While the people are smart, many of those in upper management are very fake -Upper management in North America are cliquey, racist and only hire within their own ethnicity - There's a lot of backstabbing that goes around in the commercial team in the US - The commercial team in London is better but the way it's being run is a joke. - A few members of upper management has been rated very low in the assessment tests given by HR to staff, so choose your bosses wisely. - Tech teams aren't as agile as they think and they don't get with the times. - Many internal systems are old, clunky and plain embarrassing. - It depends where you're situated, but many teams esp in Asia and San Francisco have zero work life balance
